POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. BOW-STREET. POST OFFICE ROBBERY.--William Edward Ducrow, a letter-carrier attached to the Nest Central District Office, 126, High Holborn, was charged with stealing a letter, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster General. Mr Gardiner, one of the senior clerks in the Post-office, said—The prisoner was one of the letter carriers employed at the Branch Post-office, 126, High Holborn, In consequence of the numerous losses of letters from that station, he was directed to test the honesty of persons engaged there. H 3 according'y enclosed 57 penny postage stamps in an envelope, directed it, "Mr. Burns, 10, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury," and handed it to Mr Clare to post. Witness went to the West Central District Post-office about 4 o'clock the same afternoon, and the prisoner was brought into a private room and lammed that a letter containing postage stamps woe missing, addressed as above. He denied all knowledge of the letter, but on being searched by the cflicer a leather purse was taken from one of his pockets, in which was found 57 postage stamps. On the pris37 - :r being questioned as to how he came into possession. of the stamps, he said he had purchased them en Saturday afternoon of a friend in the street. The stamps wore those he (witness) enclosed in the test letter yesterday. Mr Willis Clare, inspector of letter carriers, said he posted the letter in question yesterday in the early part of the day at the West Central Office in High Holborn, calling the attention of Mr Cook to the circumstance. Mr Thomas Cook, inspector of letter-oarriers, at the West Central District, said in consequence of what he heard from Mr Clare, he went to the letter-box at the office and took a letter addressed to Mr Burns, 10, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury, from the box, He afterwards placed it amongst those to be delivered by the prisoner, although the letter was not properly in his own delivery. He ought to have placed it aside in order that it might be delivered to the letter-carrier in whose delivery Great Russell-street was included. He did not do so. The prisoner had been in the service of the Post-office four or five years, and re ceived a salary of 2-Is per week. Crocker, the constable attached to the West Central Post-office, said he searched the prisoner and found the property produced in a purse in one of his pockets. The prisoner, who made no defence, was fully committed for trial. The solicitor to the post-office, in answer to the magis trate, said the prisoner was about 24 years of age. There was a silver watch, and about 18s. found on his person, and as they had no reason to suspect that they formed any por tion of a robbery, he hoped they might be delivered to the prisoner's wife, the poor woman being very near her con finement. Mr Flower said there would be no objection to such a course. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SYSTEMATIC ROBBING OF CHILDREN —COMMITTAL..-- Elizabeth Smith, about 18 years of age, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with robbing several children, between the ages of six and nine years, of their clothing, &c. A number of children who had been robbed were in attendance. In the first case the prisoner stopped a child named Eliza Smith, who with her parents reside at No. 8, Berwick-street, St. James's, and asked her to hold a purse icr her while she fastened her dress. The child did as requested, and then the prisoner asked her what she had in her hand. The child showed the prisoner 16s 31, which she was on the way home with to her father, and the prisoner, under the pretence of wrapping the money up in paper for the child, took the money from her and then handed the parcel back to the child, who, after the prisoner had left, opened it and found it to con ain only three penny pieces. The child subsequently seeing the prisoner in the streets spoke to a person, who detained the prisoner till she was taken into custody. In the second case the prisoner accosted a little girl named Elizabeth Ives, residing with her parents at No. 3, Caven dish-mews, telling her that she would drop a bundle con• taining some sheets and other articles if she was not can f al. The prisoner then offered to carry the bundle for the child, which offer was accepted, and the prisoner under some pretence got away with the bundle. In the third case a little girl, named Elizabeth Goldby, residing in Peter-street, St. James's, was stopped by t'le prisoner on her leaving a grocer's with some tea and sugar. The prisoner took the tea and sugar, and some change from the child, and then told her that if she would let her take off her boots and jacket she would go and buy her a new pair of white boots; Tho prisoner then took the child into a pawnbroker's and there left her, promising to return, which, of course, she did not. Police.constable Castle, 69 C, said there were several other charges against the prisoner. Mr Tyrwhitt said he considered the three charges already preferred sufficient, and, after cautioning the prisoner, asked her whether she wished to say anything in answer to the charges? The prisoner said she had robbed one of the children, but not the others. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. WESTMINSTER. A SHAMEFUL CHAUGE OF FELONY.—Patrick Marler, James Quinland, and John Dowd, three young men who get their living by hard work, were placed in the felon's dock charged with stealing a watch and chain, value £9, the property of James M'Donald. Prosecutor said that on Sunday afternoon he went to visit his mother-in-law, at 7, Fulham-bridge-yard, Knights bridge, and remained there till between 11 and 12 at night. Towards the latter part of that time a quarrel arose between himself and brother-in-law, and they had a fight or scuffle. When it was over, and prosecutor (who had gone away) sent for his coal, waistcoat, and watch, which he had before the fight thrown upon the bed, he missed his watch and c hain. The three prisoners had come into the room to separate the parties in the fight, and they were given into custody for the robbery. In cross-examination by Mr Smyth, solicitor for the pri soners, prosecutor admitted that he had been drinking freely, and gave so confused and unsatisfactory account of the whole transaction that no dependence could be placed upon his testimony, and he was ordered to stand out of the witness-box. _ _ Prosecutor's mother-in , law and wife were called, but did not carry the case a bit further against the accused. Their evidence, on the contrary, went to show that there were other persons in the room after the fight, and that prosecutor gave his brother-in-law into custody for the robbery on Sunday night, and afterwards charged the three prisoners, although he had himself, in cross-examination, expressed great doubt as to whether Dowd was even in the room from which the watch had been stolen. Prosecutor's brother-in-law was examined, but his evi dence did not in the slightest degree affect the prisoners, whom he said came in to separate them while fighting. Mr. Arnold—ls the watch and chain found ? Policy—No, your Worship, it is not. Mr. Arnold—ls there any further evidence against these men? Police—No, there is not. Mr. Arnold—There is not the slightest case agains' ;hens. They are discharged. THAMES. MY NEIGIIII:CR'S SON.—Bartholottew l'Cabe, strange looking man, about 25 years of age, who has given an immense deal of trouble to his own father and family, to the police, to his neighbours, and to the magistrates of this court in the course of the last seven years, was brought before Mr Paget charged with being on the premises of Joseph Porter, coal merchant, of No 2, Davonport-street, Ratcliff, for an unlawful purpose, The prosecutor said the prisoner was a neighbour's son. This morning between one and two o'clock he was knocked up by a police-constable, and he saw that the gate leading to his stables was open, and the prisoner in custody. He had repeatedly warned the prisoner off the premises. He had lost fowls, rope, harness, brass off his van, and other property after the prisoner's visits, but, as he was a neigh bour's son, he did not take any legal proceedings apinst him. William Bean, a police-constable, 106 K, said that at half-past ono o'clock that morning he saw the prosecutor's gate open and the chain undone. He turned on his light, and saw the prisoner coming from the stable. The pri soner, who had been drinking a little, threw himself on the ground, and said ha had only just come into the place. The prisoner had been in custody repeatedly for robbing his father, a tradesman in Devonport-street, and was last con victed for a burglary and robbery in his father's premises, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard la bour. Mr Paget—How long has he been out of prison ? Witness—About six months. The prisoner said he only came out of the workhouse yesterday (Monday) morning, and he wont to Mr Porter's premises to have a lay down• Mr Porter was a relation. Mr Paget—What relation ? Prisoner—llls wil.fs husband's brother married his daughter, (Laughter.) A. sad history was given of the prisoner's career in his parents' home, and Mr Paget, believing that he went to Mr Porter's premises for a felonious purpose, sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE =MUM. This bankrupt was described as of the Edgware-road, licensed victualler. The matter came before his honour on reference from the registrar, as to the effect of a deed of composition which had been duly registered, and to a cer tain extent acted upon, but it was subsequently disputed, and an adjudice Hon in bankruptcy was nwle, under which some of the creditors who had signed the deed sought to prove their debts. Mr. Reed now contended that the deed did not represent the whole of the creditors either in number or value, as several debts had been omitted, under these circumstances the deed was invalid and inoperative. Mr Curtis urged, on the contrary, all the requirements of the act had been complied with, and the time had now gone by to dispute it. Mr Reed proposed to call the bankrupt and examine him as to the amount of credit, but His Honour ultimately afjourncd the case. IN RE CHAPPELL. This bankrupt was described as of Connaught-terrace, Edgware-road, solicitor, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The debts are stated at about £1,500, and the bankrupt attributes his failure to that of a person named Lockwood of the Edgware-road. Mr Treb erne (Treherno and Wolferstor) appeared for the asggnees, and asked for an adjournment for a month to effect an arrangement with the creditors, who consented. Adjourned accordingly. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS. SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay, £4 Os to £5 lOs ; clover, £5 Os to £G 108 ; and straw, £1 83 to £1 12s per load, Trade slow. CUMRERLAND.—Meadow hay, £1 to £5 15a; clover, £5 to £6 15s Od ; and straw, £1 8a to Li 12a per load. A moderate demand. WHITECHAPEL,—Meadow hay, £4 to £5 15s ; clover, £5 to £6 10s; and straw £1 8s to £1 12s per load , Trade steady. COLONIAL. TEA,--Business hcis been very inactive, and the few deal ings reported in China descriptions have been about pre vious rates. A small quantity of Indian is announced fur public sale to-day. SUGAR,—The market has remained very dull, and a decline of about 61 per cwt. may be quoted ou inferior qualities. Good grocery descriptions, however, have main tained previous rates. COFFEE, —There has been a f ►ir inquiry for colonial descriptions, but the large quantity on offer has tended to depress prices. RICE.—A moderate amount of business has been done, without, however, any material change in prices. TALLOW.—A strong business has been transacted for both present and forward delivery, at about prtvious rates. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 42s 3d ; last three months, 13s 3d; anzi January to Match, 41a 3d per cwt. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3a per mile pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.35 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lead. per ounce for standard gold, it appew, s that gold is rather more than 3-ICths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advic:s from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.4 a per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-I , iths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is epote.d 278 t) 280 per cent., and the pre mium on gal 157 to 1581 percent. Go'd still continues to be imported in very moderate quantities. A general meeting of shareholders of the Bank of .13.1 - i tish Columbia took place yesterday, The report presented for adoption stated that the amount of undivided profi. at the conclusion of the half year ending 30th June last, was £11,105 163 6d. Out of this sum the directors propose to appropriate £5,000 to paying a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, free of income tax; to add £4,000 to the Reserve Fand, which is thereby increased to £6,000; and to carry forward £2,105 163 6d to the current year. ACCIDENT) ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY. —Yesterday (Monday) much anxiety was caused in Liverpool in consequence of a rumour that an accident of a very alarming nature had occurred to the London express, due in Liverpool at 12.30 p.m. On making inquiries, however, we learned that the express train ran off the line near Weedon, but, beyond a fright, none of the passengers were injured. In consequence of this mishap here was a delay of between .wo or three hours in the de livery of the mid-lay mails. COST OF THE AMERICAN WAP..—The New York IVoild reckons the coat of the present war thus :—Expen diture on army and navy, 3,000,000,000 dolt , bounties pa'd by States and towns, 450,030,000 dolt; loss for life of the labour of the killed and maimed, 2,000,000,000 dole; loss of three years' labour of other soldiers, 8,000,C00,000 dohs ; property destroyed on the ocean, 300,000,0 00 dolt; loss of profits of commerce, 700,000,000 J o lt ; property destroyed on land, 2,000,000,000 dol t ; p ens i ons t o wounded and widows for life, 400,000,000 dole —making a total of 15,050,C00,009. DENMARK DESERTED BY ENGLAND —NOT BY WALES !—The Prince and Pi incess of Wales, says the London Reineto, continue to be received with the greatest warmth, and ev e n en th us i asm, w h ene ver they appear in public in Denmark. Al t h ough the i r v i s it is a strictly pri vate one, and has n o p o li t i cal sign ifi ca tion, it is impossible not to attach some meaning to which they hav e b een welcomed. It i n dicates, no doubt, principally, the pe rsona l popularity o f th e reigning family, means it also shows th a t t h e Danes still c li ng to their indepen dent national exist ence, and are by no eans inclined to the other submit to absorpti on b y t h e popular greeting by Scandinavian kingdom. Had any disposition of this kind existed, it must have made sy a thi sa heartily with their Kin g itself felt on an Occ as i on of this kind, i n c oolness and indif ference to the joy s an d sorrows of t h e royal household. That the people still cap and his children, n o t w i t h standing t h e m isfortunes of the country, is a sign th a t t h ere is no waver ing in their alle giance to Christian IX —no inclination to cast on the mo narch the blame of reverses whichhe has been powerless to avert. For Englishmen, the most interesting incident of the visit is one which occurred on the arrival of the royal party at Bernsdorff. In reply to the welcome which they met, the King assured his subjects that his daughter's heart was one with th e i rs, and t h a t it had felt and bred for all their sorrows, T his is, o f course, nothing more than might have b een expected, an d, had his Majesty stopped there, his speech would have excited little attention. He went on, however, to say that the Prince of Wales shared the feelings of his wife, and that ho too sympathised with Denmark under the grievous wrongs to which she has been subjected, We cannot avoid accepting as perfectly authentic n statement so publicly made in the presence of the Prince of Wales. It amounts, indeed, to no more than we believed before ; but at the same time it is satisfactory to know, on unexceptionable autho rity, that the heir-apparent to the throne thinks and feels like the great body of his countrymen, and that he at any rate is not drawn by any German connections into predilec tions at variance with those of the English people. The Icing's announcement, which was no doubt made with the consent of his Royal Highness, naturally excited an en . thusiastic response ; and, whatever resentment may still be entertained towards Great Brit ain for the part she has played in recen t events, novortion of it will h ence f orth be v isited upon the Princ e of Wales. ANTIQUARIAN "Wo have t o record the result of two diggings which hav e just been made in this county. Th e first was carried o ut on the 13th Abe Aberdeen —The een i)IGGINGS IN AB ERDEENSHIRE. Journal says : instant in several cairns on the estate of nothie, belonging to Colonel Forbes Leslie. Two of the cairns were situated on a piece of rough whinny ground on the farm of Blind well. They were low circular structures of no great size. In the first a sma ll cist was found, containing only a quantity of calcine d bones. In the s econd, a cist was found which contain ed an urn with p orti ons of bones and fragments of a curious j et necklace. A. simil at cairn on the now open e d was in the middle o and opened and f oun d to contain a larges b am n a urneesc.us llotTpi cultivated t the esi third eenicdter,ne cairnt. it app eared to have been The urn c on t a i ned a quantity of surrounded by a row of large boulders, and to have had a raised inner circular platform. Nothing was discovered beyond a deposit in the latter space, of which fragments of bones and burned matter O n ly remained. A cairn similar in its arrangement to the last was placed on the adjoining farm a Burreldales, and was recently removed. It was examined by Mr Chalmers, Who has described the results in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries in Scotland. Some vestiges of Druidical circles occur in the neighbourhood, as well as traces of the hut circles of the people, who had selected the dry slopes of those now fertile braes as the site for their abode, as Well as of their final resting places, It would appear that some of the bodies in the cairn's had been bur ned, and oth ers not ; while some of the bones appeared to be these of the l ower animals. The second digging t oo k place on the 14th i ns t an t i n a remark able cairn on the farm of WarrackOone, in the parish of TuEynessle. It was a flat circular structure, surrounded with big stones in the foundation, depressed towards the round, a ridge towards the mat slabs. In most of d.fferent places, four c c e ra n ct centre, were and e discovered, nhaving,ce. In r i formed oe this ridge,rdnf I urge d l o them urns were found. At two spots on the south side largo runs, inverted, containing incinerated bones, were found, without cists, in holes formed in the stones and subsoil; and at two other spots higher up in the cairn, small cavities of irregular form were noticed, in which were bones which did not seem to have been burned. In the centre of the cairn, deposits of burned matter, containing bones, were found. One of the large urns was decorated with a pro jecting zig-zag band, in great relief with other patterns commonly found on cinerary urns," A Strange Fish. Mr Francis, piscicultural director of the Acclimatisation Society, writes to the Times, intimating the arrival of that remarkable and valuable fish the silurus glanis in England as a fact worthy of being made known to the public : " It is more than 100 years (he says) since any new fish has been acclimatised in England, and a very much longer period since any fish of equal value has been brought in'o this country to be acclimatised; indeed, it is a question whether any animal since perhaps the introduction of the turkey has been brought here likely to equal the silurus in importance. One of the greatest wants hitherto felt in this country has been a good lake fish that might be turned to account, in order that the huge waste of water with which our islands abound might be properly stocked and employs d, This want the silurus seems likely to meet; indeed ids al most 'he only fish we could have procured which could meet it. Growing to an enormous siza, iv,n to 200,b. or 2001 b. in weight, where space and food are plentiful, it neverthless in ponds preserves i!s fine fl :your. It feeds ravenously upon ,he coarser kinds of fish, but of all food prefers frogs, We have undoubtedly vast quantities of frogs in this country, which are not used by un in any way as a medium either of food or of producing food, and so rapid is the growth of the silurus that it has been known to reach the enormous weight ( f 54 b. in four years. "Its flesh somewhat resembles veal in appearance, and partakes of the rich flavour of the eel. All Englishmen who have partaken of it unite in averring that it is superior even to our own noble salmon. The above facts I have from Sir Stephen Lakeman, to whose enterprise, energy, and deter- nation the introduction of the silurus is duo. It need ❑ot be pointed out that if we can replace the worthless carp and roach with which our large sheets of water are infested with a fish of this character, the gala to us will be very great. Sir Stephen Lakeman brought these fish from Ko pacheni, where he has an estate on the banks of the Argisch, which is a tributary of the Danub3, and is about ten miles from Bucharest—a distance of 1,800 miles. The labour of transporting them hither was enormous. He started from Kopseheni on the 23d of August, and brought these fish by Bucharest to Girgevo, a distance of 50 miles; thence by steamer to Basics (in Transylvania), and by rail to Pesth, Vienna, Nuremberg, Cologne, Brussels, and Boulogne to London,'and thence to Twickenham. Many times his charge was upon the point of being shipwrecked, but was saved by his indomitable energy and perseverance. To combat the tirelessness, and in some places even the positive disfavour of railway officials, incessant attention was required. He started with 36 silurus and some tiger eels—a remarkable and valuable fish peculiar to the Danube. Some of the siluruses were of large size, up to 6:bs ; they were conveyed in casks about the size of quarter casks placed upon rockers; these, by keeping the casks constantly in motion, plashed and aerated the water. The larger fish were suspected, no doubt with justice, of having eaten the smaller ones, and with them the tiger eels. They all died, however, but 14, which arrived here safely on the night of Thursday, the 15th, in the charge of Sir Stephen and uly friend Mr Lowe, one of the secretaries of the Acclimatisation Society, -The little strangers varied from onn t) two czi. in weight; they were perfectly healthy and lively, and after their long fast of 23 days they made good use of their time when enlarged, as on the next day, when I examined them, their stomachs were distended with food. "They have now been in my charge a week, and are ex ceedingly healthy and vigorous, They are a peculiar fish, resembling in their habits the burbot, which I have also hal charge of here, They hide themselves by day and roam about for food at night. I have no doubt that the attempt to introduce them will be thoroughly successful. VIVA IL PAPA-RE !—lt appears certain, says the Saturday _Review, that, after so many delays, after so many shiftings backwards and forwards, the Emperor has determined to take a decisive step towards withdrawing the French troops from Rome, A Convention is stated to have been actually signed between him and the King of Italy. The Constitutionnel, which is said in Paris to be nt,t so much a journal as a Pythoness. has delivered an oracular utterance, and its utterance happens to be perfectly intelligible. The terms of the agreement are made known. The Pope is to retain his present territory, and the Italian Government undertakes, not only not to invade it, but to oppose any force that may seek to invade it. It gives, in fact, a guarantee against, the action of the revolutionary party in Italy, and it pledges itself that, even if Garibaldi is at the head of the invading forces, there shall be another A.promonte. Further, Italy engages to become responsible for a portion of the debt. of the Papal States, answering to the value of the Papal territory which has fallen into her hands. The Pope is to be allowed to raise as large au army as he pleases, and devout Frenchmen are to be per mitted like the rest of the faithful, to rush to the defence of the head of their religion. Lastly, the Italian Government undertakes to fix the capital of united Italy at Florence, and thus to abandon, in principle, that selection of Rome as the only possible capital which Cavour brought his countrymen to accept as a political axiom. There can be no doubt that this is a compromise which hard necessity has gradually induced the Italians to listen to. It is very different from the programme held out a year or two ago. Then the Italian Parliament was to meet under the shadow s f the Capitol, the reign of priests was to be over, and the Pope was to wander in his luxurious gardens, surveying with a gentle and wondering patience the ruins, not only of Imperial, but of Pontifical Rome. It was sup posed that the Pope would be, in the Vatican, very much what the Archbishop of Canterbury is at Lambeth. The English Primate has a flue old house, and a good library, and shady antique gardens ; he is honoured by his servants and the clergy; he is welcomed in the palace of his Sovereign, he heads the proclamations of religious societies; but if he wants to know where real power lies, he must look across the river to the gilded towers of the Rouses of Parlia ment. This was the dream of Italian patriots, perhaps of Cavour, possibly even of the Emperor himself. But Catho licism has been too strong for the accomplishment of such a scheme. Tho great world of Roman faith will not tolerate that its head should sink into the position of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It insists that the Pope shall not be merely a spiritual chic', but shall have a visible and temporal sovereignty. DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND —AT WHIST. -- The late Cabinet of Lord Derby contained some good players, Two of the Secretaries of State were actually fine players, and one of them adds whist to accomplishm en ts which would have made their possessor intoan Admi rab le Crichton, if genius had not elevated him far loft ie r well, l of tte category than Crichton belongs to. Rechberg p a and likes his game ; but he is in whist , tis are all . Germans,. a thorough pedant. I remember an ' incident of hi s . whist life sufficiently amusing in its way , thoug h , in h relation, the reader loses what to myself is certainly the n of the story : I mean the character and wtuoreleopfuanhgeeneery son who imparted the anecdote to me, andwho is a bout the most perfect specimen of that self .po ss ession , whic a h we call coolness, the age we live i n can b oas t o f. I own that, in a very varied a nd somewhat extensive e xperience of men in many count ries, I never met one who so completely fulfilled all the r equisites of t em p er , manner , f a ce, courage, and self-reliance, which make of a human being the most un abashable and unemotional creature that walks the earth. I tell the story as nearly as I can he related it to me. " I used to play a good deal with Rechberg," said he, " and took pleasure in worrying him, for he was a great purist in his play, and was outraged with anything that could not be sustained by an authority. In fact, each game was followed by a discussion of full half an hour, to the intense mortifi cation of the other players, though very amusing to me, and offering me large opportunity to irritate and plague the Austrian. One evening, after a number of these discussions, in which Rechberg had displayed an even unusual warmth and irritability, I found myself opposed to him in a game, the interest of which had drawn around us a large assem bly of spectators—what the French designate as la galaris. Towards the conclusion of the game it was my turn to lead, and I played a card which so astounded the Austrian Mini ster, that he laid down h s cards upon the table and stared fixedly at me. " In all my exp erience of whist," said he de liberately, "I never saw the equal of that." "Of what ?" asked I. "Of the card you have just played," rejoined he. " It is not merely that such play violates every principle of the game, but it actually stultifies your own combinations." " I think differently, Count," said I. " I maintain that it is good play, and I abide by it." "Let us decide it by a wager," said he. "In what way ?" " Thus—we shall leave the question to the galerie. You shall allege what you deem to be the reasons for your play, and they shall decide if they accept them as valid." " I agree. What will you bet?" "Ten napoleons—twenty, fifty, five hundred if you like I" cried he, warmly. "I shall say ten. You don't like losing, and I don't want to punish you too heavily." "There is the jury, sir," said he, haughtily, "make your case." "The wager is this," said I, "that, to win, I shall satisfy these gentlemen that for the card I played I had a suffi cient and good reason." "Yes." "My reason was this, then—l looked into your hand I" I pocketed his ten napo leons, but they were the last I won of him, Indeed, it took a month before he got over theashock.—Co rnelius 0' Dowd. CANNIBALISM IN AUSTRALIA.—A Brisbane paper, the North Australian, says—Sergeant Hill, who has just arrived on escort from Maryborough, has made some strange revelations to us, which illustrate the amiable pro peneitles of the aborigines of this country. He happened to visit a paddock on the outskirts of Maryhorough some short time since, in company with Mr Carrington, clerk of petty sessions. Some 400 of the natives had enc untered a party of the Miall tribe in their customary mode of warfare . Our informant states that on the occasion of his visit they were celebrating the victory of the day before by broiling the carcase of a defunct Miall, who had met with the severe misfortune of having a native spear driven through his heart. The cannibals like their meat underdone. They are dainty epicures. The deceased wretch was disembowelled in the first place and his entrails placed in a dilly bag, which was immediately shouldered by a native hag. A fire was then kindled, and the body was thrown thereon. After frizzling for a few minutes a common descent was made upon it—a cannibal scramble in fact. The carcase was severed into 60 parts, and in its raw condition was devoured without the slightest affectation or sympathy, nausea, shame, or indig nation. The bones were picked very clean ? tart.d the result was a splendid skeleton. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSALL'S—LAST EVENING.

A cloudy morning yesterday was succeeded by a most lovely afternoon, gladdened by the genial warmth of a delightful autumn sun; and a considerable number of persons were on the ground, the Emperor and Prince Imperial being among the company. With the exception of the Prix du Prince Imperial, which gave Vermouth and Fille de l'Air an oppartunity of once more meeting on equal terms, the business of the day was without interest and the fields small. The first event on the card was the Prix Principal, which brought cut only three runners, Guillaume le Taciturne beittg made favourite at evens. Bcatrix, however, with an advantage of 271 b for one year in age, had the race to herself, and ran over the two miles and a half in front, and won easily. The selling rats which came next was decided in fav,:ur of M. Aumont's Dame Blanche by a neck, after a good contest over the last quarter of a mile with Mdlle. Dachesnois. T he winner was taken by M. Deevignes for 4,625 f., being 1,625 f. over the price at which she might have been had. The Prix de Madrid, for horses which had not run on any of the prin cipal courses in France during the present year, was an easy victory for M. Lupin's Bartavelle, who in this race made her first appearance iu public. The Prix du Prince Imperial followed, for which Vermouth found plenty of backers at 7to 4. The crack was, however, bowled over by the Oaks' winner, who took up the running just when she pleased, and won with pounds in hand. The two have now ran together four times, each having scored two vic tories. The business terminated with the Prix d'Automne, fur which four came to the post, and which fell to the lot of Count de Lagrange with la Reins Bartle, being the third prizo carried off by his stable during the day.

THE NOSES OF BROUGHAM, NAPIER, CRUIK SHANKS, DICKENS, AND THACK ER AY. Lord Brougham's eminent nose is perhaps the best known of any in this generation. Innumerable caricatures have made it celebrated everywhere. It is slightly bent upwards, and has a defiant and combative expression ; but its end is decidedly cogitative, its nostrils wide and full of character. Ta its partly turned up slyle no doubt his lordship owes that in satiable industry and curiosity which has made him explore all science, and has rendered him eminent in law, politics, and literature; to i-s cogitative character, that boldness of thought, and noble defiance of oppression and wrong, and that far-seeing depth, which he has every exercised happily for the benefit of humanity. It is a nose ter above par. Perhaps the most obtrusively aquiline nose that ever was seen was that of the conqueror of Sonde, the late Sir Chas. Napier. The organ itself was prodigious ; it was a Squire of-the-Wood's nose, one not really seen in a life time else where, and the energy which accompanied it was as prodi gious. But the nose was far from Jewish. It was aquiline, not pendulous, thin at the end, and fine and thin in the no s tril. George Cruikshank, the artist, who bore some simila rity to the general, has also a fine aquiline nose; and it is curious that in the Indian army Napier used to bear the sobriquet of " 011 Fagin," whilst Cruikshatk, whe illus trated Dickens's fiction so adrairably, copied the face of the Jew from his own, sitting before a glass for the first study of those etchings which, embodying the idea of the author. made the first issue of "Oliver Twist" so popular and so highly prized. Charles Dickens-, when young, may be cited as the possessor of an aquiline nose. Dickens's has grown to be somewhat more than it was in Maelise's portrait, and is now to be classed as cogitative. Of his late rival's nose we would say little : it has been the calm teterrima belli. —About in the World. ATTEMPT TO MURDER, A POLICE SERGEANT.— On Sunday morning last an atrocious attempt to murder Pellet-sergeant Danby, of the Lincoln county constabulary, was made by a man named Wm. Wilson, a shoemaker. It appears that at an early hour in the morning Danby was on duty in the village of Seallby, near Lincoln, and when near the house of a man named Harrison thought he saw a man in the garden lying down. lie went to the spot and found it was Wilson, an unusually powerful fellow. The officer, suspecting all was not right, at once seized him, and they had a tremendous scuffi 3, both of them falling to the ground ; but Wilson, being the strongest, was uppermost. The fellow then battered the officer about the head, and struck him violently several times with his fist until he was nearly choked with his own blood. Wilson then put his hand in his pocket and took out an ordinary clasp knife, which he deliberately opened, Danby being so exhausted 1 that he had no power to prevent it. Danby, however, said, " Pray, don't use that ; for God's sake put it by." And after some hesitation he shut the knife again and put it in his pocket. A short time afterwards, however, ho again took the knife out and commenced to cut and slash at the officer, saying he would do fcr him. He cut completely through the great coat and stock, making altogether five wounds, one of which was an inch deep and an inch and a lrilf wide, the jugular vein being just missed. When the prisoner inflicted this wound he aciull:y wriggled the knife about, causing excruciating pain. Wilson then got up and made off, bat Danby follows i and caught him, and another struggle took place. The noise, howev er, aroused Mr Har rison, who opened his beeroam window and saw what was taking place, and shouted out to the fellow to desist, when he at once ran away. The officer wont home, and two me dical men were soon in atten dance—:hey dressed the wounds, and expressed an opinio n that, providing erysipelas does not set in, Danby wil l recover. The same morning Wilson was apprehended , and it was ascertained that he and two other men also in custody had during the night stolen some fowls bel:acging to Mr Drury, farmer. On Monday they were taken before Colonel Ellison—Wilson on the charges of attempted murder and fowl stealing, and the other two for fowl ateiling alone, and were remanded until Friday next, SECOND EDITION.

Examination of Muller at BoT Street, The following is a continuation of the evidence adduced at the examination yesterday : Inspector Kerressey, of the K division of police--On the 10th July, about nine in the morning, I went to the Bow station and there I saw a first class carriage, No. 16J, I observed the harelle of the door of the off side was bloody, I then went to No 5, Clapton-square, and saw Mr Briggs. I examined his hands carefully to ascertain whe;her there were marks of blood thereon. I found none. I noticed a hook on Mr Briggs's waistcoat, which was taken cff by Mr Briggs, jun , and delivered to me. I now produce it. I also produce the gold chain Mr Death identifies. I re ceived it from that gentleman. I also got a smaller ring, which I produce, from Sergeant Prescott. By Mr Board— I first saw Mr Briggs about nine o'clock on the morning of Sunday the 10th. Mr Francis Toulmin—l reside at Lower Clapfon, at d I am a surgeon. I was the medical attendant of the late Mr Briggs. I was called to him on Sunday morning, 10th of July, between two and three o'clock. He was ten lying at the Milford public-house. lie was removed under my tuperintendence from there to his own house between six and eight o'clock in the mottling. 1 saw him again at his own house at nine. I saw him repeatedly during the day on which be died. He expired about a quarter to 11 on Sunday night. I afterwards made a post mortem examina-. tion of the body on the 12th. Mr Brereton and other medical men were present. On the left ear was a jagged wound which divided the cartlidga. Anterior to that was a deep wound nearer the eyebrow, which penetrated to the bone, but which was subsequently found not to have entered the cavity of the cranium. On his scalp were several incised wounds, most of them about three quarters of au inch in length. Isir Flower—When you say several, do yon know how many there were P Wi!nese—Fcur of five, one was three inches in length. Oa removing the scalp the skull was found to be exten sively fractured, the fiseures extending in various direction s. The temporal bone was found driven in and comminuted. Blood was found in considerable quantity between the dura mater and the 'main. No disease was discovered. The heart, lungs, and liver were quite healthy. Mr Giffard---What wfts the cause of death ? - Witness—Fracture of the skull and concussion of the brain. Mr Gifford—Could you form any opinion how the injuries were infl:cted ? Witness—l should say they wero infiiced with a blunt instrument forcibly used. . . By Mr Beard--Mr Briggs was move• by my direction from the hlitiord Arms in a dhoolie, or End of ainbulbnec. I don't know that the medical gentlemen who were present at the post-mortem disagree with me in my conclusion. There was grit about the wound on the ear. My attention was not drawn to a stone en the six-foot way. I did not try whether that stone fitted into any of the marks on the head of deceast d. Mr Goftard—lf the blows had been struck in the carriage and the blood had flawed would notgrit adhere if the body had fallen from the carriage ? Witness—Yes. Mr Beard—Might not the wound on the temple be caused by the stone referred to ? - Witness—Certainly, if the deceased in falling from the carriage struck oa the st ne it might produce the wound I have referred to. Mr Glfard—Supposing the wound cn the temple w,i.s made with the stone, would that cause the other wounds you found on the head. Witness—Certainly not. That would be simply im possible. By Mr Beard—l read my post mortem notes over to Mr Brereton and Mr limper, and no direct e7;.ception was taken to them by either of those gentlemen. I. oiLt not ask either of them to sign nay notes. I read it over to them and they made no objection to them. I don't know that they dis agree with my conclusions. Mr Alfred Brereton, sir-goon, said—l saw the late Mr Briggs previous to his death. I weat to the spot where Mr Briggs was found lying, and there I found the gravel • moistened with blood. About the spot we found a round stone in tho centre of the blood stain. The kone load blood and hair upon it. Mr Cooper has that stone in his possession. I afterwards examined a first-cl ass ra il wt:y carriage at the Bow station. The witness here gave a descrii. , tion of the intericr of tho railway carriage, which was precisely similar to that given by the railway guard. Mr Giffard—Did you take any part in the poet mortem examination? Witness—No. _ _ Bir Gilfatd—Did you observe it sufficiently to speak to the cause of death ? Witness—Yes. GriilArd—What, in your judgment, was the cause of death ? Witness —Frai)ture of the skull producing compression of the brain. Mr Flower—Upon which aide of the carriage was the greatest quantity of blood ? Witness—On the near side, that is the seat next to the engine. The blood filled up the cavities made in the cushion by the buttons. Inspector Tanner, of the detective police—l have the conduct of this matter by direction fiom Sir R. Mayne. On the 19th of July last I left London in company with Sergeant Clark, for New York. When the Victoria arrived there on the 25th of August, I found the prisoner onboard. I placed him with nine other men in the saloon of the ship, leaving Mr Death on the deck. That gentleman went below and pointed out the prisoner, and said " This is the man from whom I received the chain." I afterwards, on the same morning, spoke to the prisoner relative to a ring. I had told him I was an officer in the police force in Len don, and I held a warrant charging him with the murder of Mr Briggs. That he was about to undergo an exami nation in America, bat that ultimately he would have to go to England with me as a prisoner to answer tho charge. I then said "Have you stated that you have lost a ring ?" "Yes, sir, not lost it, but it must have been stolen from my pocket." I asked what sort of a ring it was, as I would endeavour to have it found. He said "A gold ring, with a white stone in ir with a head engraved on it. I bought it in Cheapside. I gave 7s. 6J. for it, but I don't know the name of the shop." The ring was not found. I took pos session of the prisoner's effects on board the Victoria. I heard the witness Gifford describe one of the parcels brought by the prisoner to the dccks previous to the sailing of the ship. I have been unable to discover anything of that kind. Prisoner said all his things were in a black box, which on opening was found to be about a quarter full. Mr Beard—l suppose there will be no objection to grant • ing us an examination of the letters and papers found in the prisoner's box. Mr Giffird —I cannot give any promise of that kind at present, but I have no doubt every opportunity will be given to the gentlemen conducting the defence. Mr Giffard—That, sir, forma the whole of the evidence I intend to offer on the present occasion, and on it I ask you to commit the prisoner for trial. Mr Beard—l shall offer no opposition to such a course. I shall reserve the defence of the prisoner until a future occasion. Mr Flower (to prisoner)—As a mere matter of form, I ask you if you have anything to say against being com mitted for trial. You have a legal adviser, and therefore you abide by what he says; but I ask the question as a mere matter of form. Prisoner—l have nothing to say now, sir. The whole of the witnesses were then formally bound over to appear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, to which place the prisoner was fully committed on charge of wilful murder. The prisoner during the whole of the five hours' exami nation conducted himself with the greatest coolness and self-possession ; so much so, indeed, that it created the utmost surprise in the mind of every person in court, Foreign Mail Packet List.

ACCIDENT TO AN EXPRESS TRAIN.—.An accident, happily unattended with fatal consequences, but which created groat alarm among the passengers, occurred yesterday at an early hour to the down morning express boat train on the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. This train left Victoria and Blackfriars Stations at 7 30 a.m , and having amalgamated at Herne Hill, proceeded on its journey for Dover. Atter passing through Sydenham Hill tunnel, the train ran by Penge Station, and was travelling over the slight embankment about a quarter of a mile be yond this spot, when, from some hitherto unexplained cause, the engine left the rails, and, after running for 200 yards over the sleepers and permanent way, fell upon its side down the embankment, dragging with it a second class carriage, in which were three or four passengers, in cludingone of the company's Workmen—a gas-fitter—whose passengers in the first-class carriageP, leg was broken. The of whom there were about 30, escaped injury—these car riages not having left the line—except one, an Engineer officer stationed at Chatham, whose skin was grazed. The driver and stoker of the engine heroically stuck to their posts, and were both slightly hurt ; but the guard was able to proceed to Dover with most of the passengers in a specie train which was sent down fiona Victoria immediately upon telegraphic notice of the accident reaching London.
